D7 - Which languages are better than OWL?
Hi all,
Here is the announcement to start the discussion on
D7. What languages are better than OWL for developing ontologies,
and what are their pros and cons?
I think there are at least two tasks w.r.t. this discussion:
- arguing for or against the need for certain features such
as expressivity, readability, conciseness, normalizing-effect
in a "general" language for developing ontologies,
- categorizing languages with respect to these features or the
elements that contributes to these features.
Any other task needed?
For the discussions to have an organised and precise result,
- I created a wiki page with examples of semantically structured
discussions and tool comparison tables for the above topic,
- whenever you want to make a contribution, you are invited to
extend the wiki page and post to the mailing list the updates
you made (a simple-copy paste of the addition you made is
sifficient),
- if updating the structures on the wiki page is too difficult,
I invite you to at least re-use (and quote) terms and statements
of the wiki page in your informal contributions on this
mailing list; other persons (me, at least) will then be able
to update the wiki page adequately.
Any other structure needed?
This wiki page is currently at
http://krl.wiki-site.com/index.php/Main_Page
(in case you encounter problems accessing this page, a static copy
is at http://www.phmartin.info/suo/).
Please have a look, and please forgive (and correct) the possible
mis-categorisations due to the lack of time.
This wiki page will be moved to the "IEEE wiki for the SUO" when it
becomes available.
Any other suggestions?
